Cremation as a punishment for those sentenced to death was already used in Antiquity. In some cases, certain people are not affected by the flames because of divine intervention. It consists in a literary and folkloristic motif that can be found in the Old Testament (book of Daniel 3) and also appears in ancient Greek novel, with different nuances. Achilles Tatius and Heliodoros present towards the end of their works two ordeals in which the accused characters demonstrate their innocence, but with very different readings in one and another novel.
La cremación como castigo a los condenados a muerte ya fue utilizada en la Antigüedad. En algunos casos, ciertas personas no se ven afectadas por las llamas a causa de la intervención divina. Se trata de un motivo literario y folklórico que parte del Antiguo Testamento (libro 3 de Daniel) y aparece también en la novela griega antigua, con matices variados. Aquiles Tacio y Heliodoro presentan al final de sus obras sendas ordalías en que los personajes encausados demuestran su inocencia, pero con lecturas bien diferentes en una y otra novela.
